Cameron Hughes
Private Reserve Lot 2010 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Inky deep purple. Opaque, no sign of age.
Aromas of very ripe black fruit, blackberry, full fat yogurt, orange zest, anise, milk chocolate.
Silky tannin, med acidity, full bodied (14.9abv), dry. Blackberry, creme de cassis, blueberry, and similar spicy profile with the nose, backed up by a mineral, graphite frame. Viscous and long.
A modern, well made wine that screams an expensive Napa Valley bottling. I don't think this wine is made for aging and should be drunk within the next 5 years. Not my everyday cup of tea but nice to touch-base on it once in a while. 89.
